Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the cucumbers as thinly as possible and transfer them to a large bowl.

Step 4
In a small bowl, combine the white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir until the sugar and salt dissolve completely.
Step 5
Pour the vinegar mixture over the cucumbers and dill. Toss gently to coat all the cucumber slices evenly.
